What CREST can do for the Cancer Collaborative Clinical Trials Groups

Advice and support for planning and analysis of health economics in cancer trials

Advice on the development of health economic studies within existing trials

Developing appropriate trial protocols for health economic analysis

Expert advice on health economic data collection and analysis

Checking and monitoring economic modeling conducted by groups
